me @alivelshi. thank you for watching. cnn newsroom is up next. >>> hello, everyone. you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm fredricka whitfield. it's a sprint to the finish line for the presidential candidates with just three days left to go until election day. barack obama and mitt romney are making the most of every minute. both are crisscrossing the country and hitting the crucial battleground states one last time. the president's first stop today was a rally in ohio where he told a cheering crowd that his economic ideas are working. he's also stumping in wisconsin, iowa, and virginia. all today. and as we mentioned, wisconsin is one of those critical swing states the candidates are concentrating on. and campaign workers on both sides are out knocking on doors, trying to get people to the polls. white house correspondent brianna keilar joining us live from milwaukee, wisconsin. it will be a while before the president speaks there, but you got a crowd and lots of music, nonetheless. >> that's right. and this crowd is eagerly awaiting not only the president but katy perry who w

starts as low as $129 a year. for an agent, call the number that appears on your screen. >>> cnn projects that barack obama will be . >>> this week's historic re-election a huge moment, not only for president obama, but also for those closest to him. many of whom have been with the president since his journey to the white house first began. one of those peep, the president's former chief of staff, the chicago mayor, rahm emanuel. he and his wife were with president obama backstage on election night when he gave his big speech. >> the mayor of chicago is joining us now. thanks for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. >> let me read to you what the president told "time magazine" a couple months ago looking ahead at the time when he was asked about a second term if he were re-elected. he was asked what he would do differently. he said there will be some popping of the blister after this election, where republicans refuse to cooperate on things that i know are good for the american people. i will continue to look for ways to do it administratively and work around congress. what do you think of that

>> thank you so much for joining us today. happy thanksgiving. "cnn newsroom" continues right now. >>> thank you so much. have a great thanksgiving. i'm in for ashleigh banfield. happy thanksgiving to all. quiet, calm and day of celebration. israel and gaza a cease-fire still holding. one side claiming victory. here in the states the annual macy's thanksgiving day parade kicks off. we'll take you there. >>> they risked their lives defending our freedom. they are sending messages to their loved ones here at home. >> hi, paula. i can't wait to see you. >> thank you for your support. >> shout out to my wife and my two sons. happy thanksgiving and go falcons. >> thanks so much for joining us. a lot of people in the middle east are separating now but for different reason. >> the cease-fire sendi ining eh days of fighting. the truce is now nearly 24 hours old and appears to be holding. hamas has declared a public holiday to mark what its leeades are calling a victory. the man being parade r for making it happen is morsi. let's begin with you. what is happening or not happening now? >> r

for being with me here. i'm brooke baldwin at the world headquarters of cnn in atlanta. let's go to my friend wolf blitzer, "the situation room" starts right now. hey, wolf. >> hi, brooke. thanks very much. happening now, president obama gets down to business. he's signaling what his priorities are for term two. also, a dramatic courtroom confrontation of the former congresswoman gabrielle gifford stares down the man who tried to kill her. now that the voters have had their say, colorado's marijuana growers and would-be legal dealers face a showdown with the federal government. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> today we're getting our first inside hints about what's on the president's to-do list now that the election is over. the list includes huge issues like taxes, the deficit, headline making overseas trip and a possible shakeup of his cabinet. let's get right to our chief white house correspondent jessica yellin. she's been doing some reporting. jessica, what are you learning? >> reporter: hi, wolf. first the reports that the president is going to be delivering

>>> hello again, you're in the "cnn newsroom." i'm fredricka whitfield. now that your turkey and pumpkin pie have settled in your stuns it's time to repack that suitcase and head back to the airport. at least that's the story for 2.4 million of you. today is the busiest day for thanksgiving air travel. tomorrow will be quite hectic as well. that's according to the trade group airlines for america. how are the airports looking this thanksgiving sunday? susan candiotti is at new york's laguardia airport. almost always it's a very busy airport. how about today? >> reporter: hi, fred. it's been fraurkbly smooth throughout the day today. we have been here since the early morning and now, and things never really picked up. not bad, considering the fact that this is the busiest travel holiday weekend of the year. now, we can tell you that there are a few handful of delays nationwide. but generally due to good weather. that's probably a key reason why aren't any problems despite the higher volume. one website called flight explorer estimates there are 6,900, 7,000 planes in the air r

of them successful. >> cnn's anderson cooper is in the middle east to cover the escalating conflict between israel and hamas. and during a live report from gaza city last night, anderson got to experience firsthand what the palestinians have been coping with for the last six days. >> also two media centers. whoa. that was a rather large explosion. that occurred -- just look out here. i can't actually see where the impact of that was. it is actually set off a number of car alarms. but that was probably the largest explosion that we've heard just in the past -- really in the past hour. there have been a number of explosions in the past hour or two. but that one -- that one was pretty loud. >> all right, cnn's wolf blitzer is also covering the conflict from jerusalem. stay with cnn for the very latest breaking news from the region. >>> also this morning, president obama in the midst of an historic three-nation tour of southeast asia. overnight, he was in myanmar. the country formerly known as burma. this is the first time that a sitting u.s. president has visited that country. mr. obam

that the cia director was involved. >> cnn's barbara starr is following this developing story, she's live at the pentagon for us. good morning. tell us, what is the status of the investigation right now? >> well, good morning, alina. "the new york times" is now reporting this morning that the investigation actually began some months ago. but, again, the questions continue to mount. it wasn't until election night that the director of national intelligence, james clapper, was informed that this was all going on. the white house informed the next day,and the president the day after that. so how you have an fbi investigation, which whatever went on did involve looking into the matters of general david petraeus, your cia director, and the president isn't informed. this is one of the key questions congress, the congressional committee's concerned, they weren't informed. so expect to see a lot more about this for the next many days. >> barbara, let's talk a little bit more about that. as you mentioned the white house wasn't notified until 5:00 p.m. on election night. the president wasn't told un

a break the no tax pledge. that is a hopeful sign, folks, because a new cnn/orc poll shows more than two thirds of americans believe a trip over that cliff would create major problems, perhaps even a crisis. cnn political editor paul steinhauser is live from washington, d.c. this morning. nice to see you, paul. so the fiscal cliff triggers back-breaking tax hikes and massive spending cuts. you've got more numbers that show what type of budget plan americans actually prefer. >> exactly. one of the big arguments, zoraida, is should it be all spending cuts to get us there or tax increases, as well? brand-new numbers just out from cnn/orc. only about one in three say whatever deal should be struck should be just spending cuts. but almost seven in ten, two thirds of americans say the plan should include spending cuts and tax increases. our poll indicates americans are not so optimistic a deal will get done and if it doesn't get done, who gets the blame? look at this right here, about 45% say republicans in congress will be blamed if there is no deal and the country falls off the fiscal cliff.

'll bring you the details later on this hour on cnn. >> that is crazy. all right, good morning, welcome to "early start" everyone, i'm john berman. >> good morning, everybody, i'm alina cho. happy black friday to you. it is 6:00 a.m. in the east. >>> we are going to start this hour with breaking news in the gaza/israel conflict. new reports of new violence this morning. it happened in gaza near the israeli border. according to hamas security sources about 700 people were participating in the anti-israel protests that approached the border. israeli forces allegedly fired at the protests killing at least one palestinian man and wounding three others. we are going to keep our eye on this for you this morning. we'll bring you the latest as it develops. now, to the other news today, it is black friday in america. somehow, this shopping frenzy became a holiday tradition. and this year, hard-core bargain hunters face a new challenge with more stores moving their door buster hours up to thanksgiving night, creating, yes, gray thursday. people camped out in the line for hours hoping to score som

with us online here. you can follow us on cnn weather on twitter. we'll give you all the latest information. >>> president obama back at the white house. it wasn't the welcome that his staff had intended. they wanted to greet him on the south lawn. but the bad weather changed those plans. the first family took air force one then arrived at the white house by motorcade instead. >> the president's first order of business, avoiding the fiscal cliff. congressional leaders from both parties conceding the election with a call to compromise. what that comprise is, that hasn't been ironed out. w we'll get to what they said. >> the presidential vase over except in florida. the electoral votes are i will stun claimed. they're not make or break this time. president obama still holds a lead there. >> seven house races still up for grabs this morning across the country including the heated contest on florida's treasure coast between tea party republican allen west and democratic challenger patrick murphy. right now murphy does have a very slim lead of less than 2500 votes. but west not conce

for that is lady time. one last thing to keep an eye on in tomorrow's results here is the last cnn poll out of ohio. it's a cnn poll head to head president obama versus mitt romney in ohio. that shows the president ahead. cnn did the same poll in a slightly different way. rather than doing a head to head match up they polled on the other candidates on the ballot. in that poll he still leads by three. obama 47, romney, 44. gary johnson at 5%. jill stein with 1% and vir jill goode pulling in half a percent. that's not in virginia. that's in ohio. maybe half a percent or gary johnson's 5% will mean nothing. maybe ohio won't even be close. when elections are not close nobody remembers who the third party candidates are. when they are close all of a sudden that might be the most important thing in the world. >>> i brought extra clothes to work with me today. see? if it becomes clear tomorrow that we have to be heading out to colorado or ohio or florida for that matter, because it turns out that's where this thing is going to be decided over a period of days and weeks and months instead of it just being

. cnn's barbara starr is following that story from the pentagon. good morning. >> good morning, soledad. well, look, at least at this point, there's no indication publicly of a national security breach. but that doesn't mean the questions aren't growing. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are questioning the timing behind the revelation. house majority leader eric cantor said an fbi employee told him in october about the petraeus affair. by that time an fbi investigation was already under way. the fbi told the director of national intelligence james clapper on election night, according to a senior u.s. intelligence official. the white house says it was notified the day after the election, and the president the following day. that doesn't make sense to house homeland security chairman peter king. >> this seems to have been going on for several months yet now it appears they're saying that the fbi didn't realize until election day that general petraeus was involved. it just doesn't add up. >> "the new york times" reports the fbi actually started its investigation late this summer. the h

and started moving some of them to the hardest-hit areas of new york and new jersey. cnn administrator craig fugate says it's not clear yet what the total demand will be. >> and while the region recovers from sandy, for many people, those who lost everything in the storm, this doesn't feel like much of a recovery to them. cnn's susan candiotti is live in asbury park, new jersey this morning. we underznd stand that you have one family's story. >> that's right. you know, as you mentioned, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people in new jersey remain without power. and a lot of those people live in coastal areas, where people still are not allowed to go back home, because they have no power. but for a few hours a day, a few are able to go back and are being allowed to start the cleanup. we made an emotional return with one couple to a place called pelican island, new jersey. with sandy's storm clouds gathering, sue evacuated. but over her objections, husband bill stayed behind. it was traumatizing. >> rode out the storm until friday morning. friday morning i said i couldn't take any m

hikes, and spending cuts that will come in the new year. brand-new cnn/orc poll shows that is, in fact, affecting the american people. 68% say they believe falling off the fiscal cliff could trigger major problems for the country, maybe even a crisis. brings us to dan lothian at the white house this morning. dan, good morning. senate goes back to work this afternoon. the house will return tomorrow. what could really be done by lame duck congress? >> well, look, the hope is that there will be some kind of compromise here, because as you pointed out most americans believe that if there is no agreement there really could be a crisis here. so you are seeing some softening from republicans who took that no tax pledge back to 1986. first it was saxby chambliss. now south carolina republican senator lindsey graham. take a listen. >> when you're $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid the coming grief, and republicans, republicans should put revenue on the table, we're this far in debt, we don't generate enough revenue. i want to buy down debt and cu

. >> now a spokesman for hamas sounded cautiously optimistic that a cease-fire could be at hand telling cnn we are close, we are on the edge. cnn has reporters blanketing the region to bring you the most comprehensive coverage of this crisis in gaza. fred pleitgen is in ashkelon, ben wedemans in gaza city. ben wedeman, good morning, set the scene for me. >> reporter: yes, brooke, it was a noisezy night and we saw intense bombardment just behind where i'm standing. that was proceeded by increasing sort of mounting reports that a cease-fire was about to be announced or a period of calm. but it appears that there were problems within the israeli government that prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his foreign minister lieberman didn't see eye to eye with the defense minister who was leaning towards accepting this draft proposal sent by hamas via the egyptian government. so once it was clear that those efforts had sort of run into a brick wall, we saw an intensification of israeli air strikes and of course rocket fire out of gaza as well. one of the rockets, rather, one of the air strikes hit

candidate, the miami herald says it's obama. cnn white house correspondent brianna keilar's been keeping track of what the president's been doing since his victory speech early this morning. brianna, the president should be landing back in washington very soon taking marine one over to the white house. he's got a full agenda ready i assume. >> reporter: he does. and i will tell you, wolf, the white house is keeping it under wraps as far as what happens after he arrives at the white house. but we know he'll land obviously at andrews air force base. we're expecting that not too long after 5:00 eastern. and then he'll come here to the white house landing on the south lawn in marine one. the first time he's been back to the white house knowing that he'll be here for another four years. this morning he did wake up in chicago as we await for him to leave chicago he called con gregs gnat leaders, democrats and republicans in both the house and senate before making his way to the airport stopped by his campaign headquarters to meet with hundreds of volunteers and staff members and really thank t

, they said, with the ambassador's explanation for her comments following the benghazi consulate attack. cnn foreign affairs reporter elise labott has more details for us. she's in washington, d.c. this morning. elise, good morning. >> hey, soledad. well, what came out in those meetings and why senators say they're even more concerned, centers around the information that the cia had just after the attack about possible involvement in the benghazi attack that killed ambassador chris stevens and those three other americans. now, ambassador rice did not make reference to this information in her talk show appearances. the unclassified talking points she used were provided by the cia, were stripped of these references to al qaeda, because the information was classified and couldn't be delivered in public. now, after the meeting, ambassador rice acknowledged those talking points turned out to be incorrect. but that she stressed she and the administration never meant to mislead the american people. and what the senators are saying is, as a cabinet member, ambassador rice is privy to this conflictin

the election results in new york you had to look up. empire state building turned blue when cn-n called the race for president obama. throughout the night with a meter showing the electoral college and,000 they were voting in each state. >>> and president had supporters in chicago to celebrate. >> george howel was there and has more reaction. >> reporter: thousands packed the chicago convention center to celebrate the current and future president barack obama. >> our journey has been long. we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the united states of america, the best is yet to come. >> reporter: it's been 6 months and more than 100 rallies since the president officially kicked off his reelection efforts. a slow economic recovery and poor performance in the first presidential debate left the campaign in a virtual tie in the final weeks. but as the election wore on, the president continued to rack up key electoral votes. then shortly after 11 p.m. eastern time, it was ohio that put obama over the top a state that became ground zero for b

by looking at empire state building that turned blue when cnn called the race for president obama. throughout the night, it illuminateed and it was electoral college votes for each side. >>> a love stories as people are looking out for snow. >> and they are going to get it as we go throughout the day. we will have a wintery mix across the area. we can see as we look back toward the west, dry times, that's to come but first off we have to deal with the nor'easter dumping ran across the area this morning and around calvert county we are seeing a little bit of that within theory mix that trend will continue as we head through the rest of today. so expect the rain and expect snow to be mixing in together and as we go into the afternoon expect it to switch over to snowfall across the area that lingers into the overnighttime frame as well. but with that rain coming down first, it's going to be difficult to really get accumulation and also the ground is not as cold as it would be we say in wintertime. temperatures coming in at 35 degrees in columbia. and davidsthe same building in a five month perio

night already. indiana for romney, and cnn is calling kentucky for romney. these are not at all surprising, but i love all calls. i plan to be shouting about them all night long. let me give you some interesting exit polls. again, i talked with governor spitzer about this just a while ago on current. these don't--don't take anything to heart. oh my good i saw an exit poll in hawai'i, and i think this thing is settled no. but it gives you an interesting idea of which way the voters are going overall. on the economy romney wins 51-47. what i get is that he's not leading by much. i think that's interesting. when you look at who they represent, 52% for cnn said romney represent the rich. only 36% said the middle class and i love this. only 2% said the poor. whereas president obama was 10% for the rich. 43% for the mill class and 31% for the poor. that's a breakdown macro-picture that i think will do a lot of good. >> the main question that will stick with me all night is who are those two percent? to think that mitt romney is for the poor? >> they're definitely not the poor. >> you

appears to have doubled reports from abc and cnn are that more than 20 are hurt, up from 10, three are critical. israel's deputy prime minister is calling the bombing an escalation in the conflict. the bus was across the street from the military headquarters in tel aviv when it exploded. cnn is reporting it was not a suicide bombing that someone left a device on the bus. also hamas is not claiming responsibility but is praising the attack. hillary clinton just arrived in cairo earlier she was back in jerusalem for another round of meetings with israeli leaders trying to help negotiate an end to the fighting. >> we'll work with our partners in israel and across the region, toward an outcome that both feel security -- that bolsters security for the people of israel, improved conditions for the people of gaza and move towards a comprehensive peace for all people of the region. >> reporter: take a look at this, in the last 30 minutes a camera captured this explosion in gaza city, fame sight now. clinton was in the west bank yesterday meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and

the second john boehner told him to. so again, what did tom cole do after "hardball"? he went on cnn three hours later and said exactly the same thing and when he was asked what reaction he is getting from his fellow republicans in the house, he said this. >> i think the reaction is mixed. some support it, some don't. some have more questions about it. >> that is as positive a reaction as he could have reported. there are 241 republicans in the house of representatives. the democrats need only 25 of them. to vote the way republican tom cole is now advocating that they vote. john boehner, very clearly wants at least 25 of his members to go the president's way now on taxes and he is very clearly happy to have congressman tom cole lead the what could be called the pro obama wing of the house republicans and solve this tax problem for the republican party. joining me now are msnbc's krystal ball and ryan grimm. kryst krystal, that house of representatives is a soviet style institution. the leadership has those people locked in, especially the traditionalists, the loyal soldiers like cole. boeh

that >> against -- >> john: we had him on cnn a few months ago. it is really remarkable. this guy is the first guy ever to parlay an entire career out of crashing a party and having his wife leave him for a guy from journey. hard to pull it off. >> it's wild. finally, the price of thanksgiving dinner is about the same as last year. according to the american farm bureau federation, you can apparently put dinner on the table for ten people for $49.48. that's for an 11-item menu including a 16 pound turkey, three sableds of sweet potatoes, cranberries and two pumpkin pies. >> john: $50 to feed a family of ten if you buy the cheapest at rate stuff. >> john: fortunately my 8-month-old doesn't know it is thanksgiving so it's pizza. >> really? >> john: i don't know. he could be grown and walking and talking by now. thank you very much, dan for the "full court press." i should explain how we got in trouble yesterday. we want to know your thoughts on israel and gaza. specifically, what do you think the u.s. government can

new information about what states have gone to what candidates. cnn is predicting governor romney will take oklahoma bringing him 240 electoral college votes. the president meanwhile, its projected winds and several new england states as well as others. maine has been projected for the president as well as (...) the main road island kinetic it is for the president, new hampshire is still a big swing state. it has not been called but the president also has vermont. in addition to the president has been projected to win washington d.c. right here. as well as illinois. no surprise there that is the president's home state. he is surging ahead of governor romney with the slough estates over here. this information is just coming into the newsroom and we'll continue to keep you posted on the latest numbers as we track the electoral college. >> crews are posted all along the bay area as people are opposed from san francisco to the east bay to the south. >> i stop by at city hall to see how the process so far there are no problems to report. there are no lines at city hall but there are a

. his father told our cnn affiliate that his son was celebrating the marine corps with a friend in palm springs. police say the marine was making derogatory comments to police and ignored their orders to. they shot marine -- the marine and he died. >> the only thing we can do is to be there to support him, thank them for the service. the thing with the ptet, it's atrocious. i don't think there's enough being done for that, and a lot of vets turn to drinking and drugs to deal with that. >> reporter: people are leaving their condolences and the marine's father told our cnn affiliate that he does not believe his son would start an argument with officers and he also told them that he believes it is completely outof -- out of character for his son and he's looking for answers. in talking to neighbors they told us that the family here, the father and -- the father and grandmother were -- grandfather were very proud. they had a lot of stickers on the cars surrounding the home and we're hoping to speak to them and learn more about his life here in san jose. >>> tonight, the morago school board

for him last time? i mean, it's 5-5. did they move? i heard of a cnn poll that showed a tie. but then the dr, did you see it was 30% republican, 41% democrat, and it came out a tie. so they needed a plus 11 to get it a tie. does that mean anything? >> well, what the partisan identification balance turns out to be today is going to be one of the critical factors. this is another key disagreement with the two sides. democrats believe that when you look at the exit polls and see who showed up to vote, that there will be 4% or 5% who are democrats than republicans. in 2008, there were 8% more democrats. in 2004, when republicans had an especially strong turnout operation, it was level. >> do we know 2010? >> 2010 i believe had a slight democratic advantage. very slight. >> even though the drought come was so overwhelmingly -- >> well, we have strongly party voting, but not overwhelming. and it depends on the individual state. but republicans believe that the partisan identification balance today, romney campaign believes it will be about plus two for the democrats. >> independen

for that is lady time. one last thing to keep an eye on. here's the last cnn poll out of ohio. this came out friday. head to head, president obama versus mitt romney in ohio. that shows the president ahead 50-47. but cnn did the same poll in a slightly different way. rather than just doing a head to head match up, they also polled on the other candidates who were going to be on the pallet. in that one he still leads mitt romney by 3 but it's a way more complicated interesting result. and even goode pulling in half a % in ohio. and maybe half a percent or gary johnson's 5% will mean nothing. maybe ohio won't even be close. when elections are not close, nobody even remembers who the third-party candidates are. but when they are close, all of a sudden, that might be the most important thing in the world. when you take a closer look... ...at the best schools in the world... ...you see they all have something very interesting in common. they have teachers... ...with a deeper knowledge of their subjects. as a result, their students achieve at a higher level. let's develop more stars in education. let's i

-star panel, republican pollster kristin soltis, elise jordan, charles blow and cnn contributor van jones. welcome to you all. let me start with you, charles blow. you were saying during the break, hard heart that you were, you weren't impressed by the president's tears. what's the matter with you, man? >> i didn't say i wasn't impressed by them. i just think i actually do believe that it shows a very human side of him that sometimes people knock him for not having. i think that it can be a difficult -- president is a difficult job. you have to walk a very fine line between being the kind of stoic commander in chief and also being an actual living, breathing human being and sometimes they say well, he can't get angry because he may be the angry black man or he can't show this kind of emotion because he might seem weak. actually, he's a human being. i think sometimes you got to catch that. this camera catches that. he's a full-fledged human being. that's a good thing. >> kristin, obviously he's not your man but did you feel moved by what you saw there? did you think mitt romney could ever

their faces on november 6th? >> reporter: as it turns out for them, it wasn't a lot of fun. gary tuchman, cnn, atlanta. >>> in the wake of tuesday's losses, the tea party is taking heat from some republicans who believe the tea party's views on socialist views alienated voters and cost romney the election. it's complicated. here's what house speaker john boehner said today in an interview with diane sawyer. >> is the tea party going to be by your side through this? >> we've got members from all different types of -- all walks of life, if you will. >> do you think they come back changed by this election? >> listen, i think this has been the most misreported story of my two years tenure. we don't have a tea party caucus to speak of in the house. all of us who were elected in 2010 were supported by the tea party. these are ordinary americans who have taken a more active role in our government. they want solutions. but we've all come a long way over the last two years, i think we all understand each other a lot better. >> joining me now, former white house press secretary ari fleischer, unpaid o

not to the grand public. >> this woman on the right seat and and had some interesting information. cnn and, had perhaps information it was perhaps not classified but people are pointing to that as an example of all of all hon. pretorius could have been. >> it is an example of eshe is a bit of a loose cannon there is reports that they found some of classified files on your laptop. -non- classified files on your laptop. what we are starting to see is a narrative building of non-classified files on the laptop of pila pala paula.. braodwell... d we are going to we're more about this, thank you. enough to free to weigh in on our facebook fan page on how you feel. >>jacqueline: a cool start this morning but 50s now. and as we look for the next several days will continue this warming trend as we go towards tomorrow. temperatures will be just a little bit warmer the same as we go towards wednesday but some cloud coverage. thanks to that storm. we can see the satellite and radar the clouds are pushing through. and rainfall to the north. as we take a look at futurecast is going to stay well to the north.
